    Was Buick still using Ionia for wagons in β€˜57-β€˜58? When did they move the wagon body to a regular production line. It’s interesting how companies will dedicate certain lines to various type of bodies. For instance I have a β€˜72 LTD Convertible. Those along with I think many years before were all made at the old Edsel plant in Louisville.

    The three-day grand opening at Chevrolet's Van Nuys facility held on February 19-21, 1948.
    Check out the nine large spotlights in front of the building used to guide visitors to the site in the evening hours.

    They used to use those klieg lights on new car showing night. I remember driving down car dealer row, and it looked like a Hollywood premier.
